Frediano, 

My goodness!  Does the sun never set in Italy this time of year? ;)

OK, I see your changes.  I'm trying to adjust the tags and build a working
distribution.  It looks like my retag list should be:

Makefile.am 
configure.in 
freetds.spec.in 
doc/Makefile.am
src/Makefile.am         #done, now 1.4
src/dblib/Makefile.am

Whew!

I'd rather do this right than steal the snapshot.  It looks like we have
enough autotool knowledge.  

I'm going to put another 60 minutes into this, then it's going to sit for 12
hours.  I'm taking the day off tomorrow (September 11), and will start my
release engineering ~12:00 UTC.  I think between us, we'll get this nailed
down.  

To anyone listening, wondering what the heck is going on: We're admitting no
code changes, not touching any .h or .c files.  We're adjusting the build
environment such that the distribution tarball is correct, such that it
requires the minimum toolset possible to build.  

Brian, src/Makefile.am had to be changed to make "make dist" always include
odbc.  What does the overnight snapshot do that "make dist" doesn't?  Is
there a good reason for it?  I guess it's time I understood this better,
being Chief Release Engineer and all.

Yes, it's pretty clear that NetBSD was not the issue.
